Trump Ripped For Disrespectful National Anthem Antics At His Super Bowl Party
The president waved his hands, pointed and pretended to conduct the anthem when he has always insisted people should "stand proudly."
By Mary Papenfuss, HuffPost US
President Donald Trump was chastised Monday after video footage showed him goofing off as the national anthem played during a Super Bowlparty at his West Palm Beach golf resort.
As everyone else around Trump (including his wife and youngest son) stood solemnly with their hands over their hearts, Trump fidgeted, waved his hands, pointed at people and pretended to conduct the music.
The video of the president cutting up during the anthem, first reported by the Miami Herald, was part of an Instagram story posted by a real estate agent at the party, which was held for a select group of the president’s supporters. The event cost American taxpayers $3.4 million, according to an analysis by HuffPost.

Boy. Good thing Trump is not a black NFL player, because otherwise this behavior would probably be really disrespectful and bad. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article239913588.html
As others stand at attention for anthem, Trump fidgets, points, pretend-conducts the band
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said all Americans should “stand proudly” during the national anthem, and publicly chastises those who don’t as disrespectful of the troops.

Our troops are worthy of a commander-in-chief who respects them. Instead, they’re being led by a self-centered man-child. https://mobile.twitter.com/RepSwalwell/status/1224440574834401280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1224440574834401280&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffpost.com%2Fentry%2Fdonald-trump-anthem-super-bowl_n_5e38a94ec5b66c4eafd8b38c

Trump has said that athletes who take a knee at NFL games to protest racism and police brutality — a movement launched by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick — should be fired because they’re disrespecting America and the military.
“You have to stand proudly for the national anthem or you shouldn’t be playing — you shouldn’t be there,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” in 2018, adding, “Maybe you shouldn’t be in the country.”
When a football player takes a knee, the team owner should “get that son of a bitch off the field,” Trump told a rally in 2017.
Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren slammed celebrities Beyoncé and Jay-Z on Sunday for sitting during the anthem. She hasn’t yet remarked on the president’s antics.

Beyoncé & Jay-Z (former crack dealer)sit for the national anthem because apparently the United States of America has oppressed them with millions upon millions of dollars & fans. Sounds rough. Maybe they should try another country that allows them a little more freedom & success?

The Miami Herald mocked Trump in an editorial by sarcastically noting his “burst of patriotic fervor.”
It’s “amazing that so many ‘patriots’ who brandish the flag and wear the red cap actually don’t mind any of this,” the editorial noted.
